WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0.0.2 or later

Adding database triggers to automatically update registries after data propagation

You can add database triggers to automatically update the marketing registry after running the stagingprop utility to publish data to the production database. The new triggers add a row to the CACHEIVL table. The value for the DATAID column in the table is "WCR+CampaignInitiativeCache" whenever the EMSPOT or DMACTIVITY tables are modified. This value causes the DynaCacheInvalidation scheduler job to refresh the CampaignInitiativeCache registry and marketing business object cache. The cache is refreshed the next time the DynaCacheInvalidation schedular job runs.

WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0.0.3 or laterFix pack 3 and higher fix packs provide database triggers that you can add to automatically update the promotions registries after running the stagingprop utility. The new triggers add the following values to the CACHEIVL table in the DATAID column:
  • WCR+PromotionRegistry
  • WCR+PromotionGroupRegistry
  • WCR+PromotionPolicyRegistry
